Digitally remastered by Bob Irwin (Sundazed Studios, Coxsackie, New York).
Show tunes ("Sit Down, You're Rocking the Boat"), novelty tunes ("Me, Japanese Boy"), songs from cutting-edge tunesmiths (Randy Newman's "Vine Street"), and complex arrangements abound on this 1968 set from the California harmony group that bridged the gap between easy listening and West Coast cool. Including a magical rendition of Yip Harburg's "Look to the Rainbow," a version of Johnny Horton's "Battle of New Orleans" complete with sound effects, and an uptempo version of the Ivy League's "Funny How Love Can Be," SECRET LIFE weaves a richly imagined sound tapestry, subverting easy listening conventions with a fine Sixties disregard for musical propriety.
Recorded in Hollywood, California in 1968. Originally released on Warners (1739).
Re-Issue Plus Bonus Tracks
Harpers Bizarre: Dickie Scoppetone (vocals, guitar, bass); Ted Templeman (vocals, guitar, drums); Dick Yount (bass, background vocals); John Petersen (drums, percussion, background vocals).
Mojo (Publisher) (3/02, p.120) - "...Whether drawing on folk, country, soul, Roaring Twenties or baroque influences, they liked to put the 'shh!' into kitsch....Hostorically they are fascinating....Their lush vocals and elaborate orchestrations are strangely affecting....highly enjoyable..."

Take the roots of The Band, the energy of The Allman Brothers, mix in a bit of Johnny Cash for integrity's sake, sprinkle in the soul of The Staple Singers, and you've got the Matt Angus Thing, a dynamite rock 'n' roll act that makes fans the old-fashioned way. They earn them.Led by a respected scene maker within New Jersey's prolific music community, Matt Angus Thing has been slugging it out on the road for two years, building a grass-roots following of loyal fans from the hallowed rock halls of Boston to the fertile American music ground of New Orleans. All along the way, M.A.T.'s rich roots rock has worked like wind to a sail.With a full-length debut just completed, Matt Angus - also bassist Randy Artiglere, guitarist Chris Hedges and drummers Tom Nelson and Dave Becker - all of whom rate among the most sought-after players in the New Jersey music scene - will continue to tour frequently while expanding its fan base."The bottom line is that you have to have fans," says Angus, whose Clinton, N.J.-based Atomic Productions and Black Potatoe Records not only have served as a springboard for the Matt Angus Thing and the frontman's previous unit, an improvisational folk-rock combo simply called Angus, but also several other independent acts. Black Potatoe has released more than a dozen CDs and its motto always has been "support your independents."Besides his own label, Angus also is responsible for the Black Potatoe Festival, an annual indie-friendly gathering of bands along the scenic South Branch of the Raritan River in the scenester's quaint hometown of Clinton, N.J. The festival has tripled in growth during its first six years, presenting such legendary acts as Levon Helm of The Band, Jorma Kaukonen of Hot Tuna and Jefferson Airplane, Dickey Betts of The Allman Brothers Band and Buckwheat Zydeco. The festival will return next summer. In the meantime, Angus will tour across the country. Angus also is a co-founder of Jersey Jams Fund (www.jerseyjamsfund.org), a United Way music education program for New Jersey children that has raised more than $32,000 for music scholarship and mentorship and the promotion of them.Frequently appearing with an exuberant horn section and soulful backing singers, including ...
